Description
Information technology usage has transformed education systems with significant impacts to academic life and to the reorganization of the educational environment. Therefore, it is essential to understand the benefits arising from the adoption of new effective teaching practices connected to the digital world. In fact, such transformations are increasingly occurring and having impacts beyond institutional barriers. However, it is not completely clear whether information technology has truly transformed teaching practices. \ \ The purpose of this research is to investigate the changes in teaching practices motivated by information technology based on scholars’ experiences. This study proposes qualitative/interpretive research through a case study with in-depth interviews, document analyses and field observations. The data confirmed that the motivation and transformation of teaching practices using information technology requires more innovative actions to ensure that technology is efficient and intensively used in new teaching methods.
